I"l do my best to make the summary of this section shorter as the
section itself (23 lines). This is the shortest one of Part 1, but not
of the novel: 16.6, 52.9 or 70.5 contain only 13 lines, beaten by 2
lines in section 49.6. For what it's worth.
1. We are finally told why and where they have to come here: antipodally
located to Tesla's experiment in Colorado, they have to observe what
will be happening during the experiment
2. Lots of activity by employees of Chums of Chance Logistical Services
-- all is done for the boys-- by "Oriental laborers" (109.8) --they will
shortly leave for "South Africa, most likely" (109.17) --to the Boer War?
3. The boys are left alone on the beach, the volcano stinks, the light
is too white, waves make conversation impossible.
Maybe something underneath is going on?
